Network television really sucks.

So last night was probably the first time in five or six years that I’ve sat continuously in one place with network television on the background for more than a few minutes. Last night I had it on for, like, for four or five hours. Know what? I think I’ve had my fill for another [...]

Hectic week…

Wow. The next seven days are gonna suck. I have to finish work and clean out my office by Friday; paint the new apartment for two more evenings; hit a 10-bar pub crawl tonight for a friend’s birthday; have my new neighbors over tonight for a beer; meet a friend tonight to shoot pool; finish [...]

Finalizing

OK. So I found out on Friday while I was in Chicago that I got my apartment here. I’m gonna go sign the lease tomorrow. I think I’ve decided to forego heading back to the NC to pack up my stuff until after work’s finished. I figure between what it’ll cost to fly down, rent [...]

A most annoying surprise…

So I came home today after dropping off my tenant application and the stairwell in my apartment smelled really strongly of paint. My room in the apartment is kinda built around an enclosed space on the non-street side of the building, and I leave my windows open, like, all the time since I have AC, [...]

So I’ve made my decision.

I’m staying here. NC sucks and most people not intent on staying there know it and have basically — in the backs of their minds, if not the forefronts – spent their time there waiting to leave. I’m done waiting. I’m out. That’s the plan, at least. There is a lot of work to do [...]

My apartment…

My apartment… My place in NY kicks all kinds of ass. It’a *way* bigger than the place we were originally supposed to move in to in the Village, and while it’s a bit further away from work, it’s also costing us, like, thousands of dollars less. Which is cool. Spent yesterday bumming around with my [...]

Too many irons in the fire…

Wow. Busy. So, as always, school’s first on the list. I’m in the midst of prepping for not one, not two, but six exams in the next 10 days. I couldn’t hardship any of the three that I have this week into the week after because, well, I already had exams on Monday and Tuesday [...]

Made it…

Well, after 71 hours and 3,080 miles on the road I arrived safely in town last Sunday. I had planned on taking a bit longer for the trip, but as it turned out I had a tough time finding a hotel on both the second and third nights, and ended up making the final Minnesota-to-North [...]

Weekend fun…

Apparently I’m being roasted tonight at the Cobalt Cafe on Capitol Hill. Festivities begin at 8:00PM sharp, after which the humiliation will commence in high style. I’ll even be wearing a tie. The big par-tay, of course, is tomorrow night. [___] Western Avenue, fourth floor, 10:00PM until rather late in the evening. DJs are booked [...]

Sheesh…

I’ve been too pre-occupied lately to post anything of real substance to my LJ. So here goes. First off, I haven’t had much of an opportunity to kick out a digested version of my experience at my sister’s wedding until now. The ceremony was quite beautiful, as was the bride (of course). As expected, the [...]
